Plot

America's identity is rooted in superlatives—bigger, stronger, faster. This relentless pursuit of excellence raises questions about the prevalence of performance-enhancing drugs among its athletes and heroes. Christopher Bell's documentary delves into this win-at-all-cost mentality, focusing on his two brothers who turned to steroids in their quest for the American dream. Through personal narratives and broader societal commentary, the film unpacks the complex relationship between ambition, athleticism, and the ethical dilemmas surrounding drug use in sports. Bell invites viewers to reconsider what success truly means in a culture obsessed with greatness.
